Adaptation of Underground Space

The degree of security afforded your important records is one of the most
important considerations when choosing a records storage site whether on-site or
off-site. Nothing else will matter if something happens to your important
records. A visual inspection and evaluation of your records storage location
could be the best time investment you might ever make.

BACKGROUND OF UNDERGROUND FACILITIES

The majority of the underground storage facilities are located in mines.
These include limestone, iron ore, and salt.

Underground storage first became attractive because of the "cold war."

Armed guards and other support personnel are on site on duty 24 hours a
day 365 days per year.
